Below is a link to the LDS listing for Health Records in St. Louis City: http://tinyurl.com/bwfbx It lists: City Hospital Registers: 1846-1900 and 1927 Female Hospital Registers: 1876-1905 Register of Midwives and Physicians: 1869-1906 among 5 items available in this health category. One of the other items is a book, which of course, you can't order unless you order it through a Family History Library and the other is a film of Health Facility Reports. I would think that these three films would be of great interest to people in the St. Louis area as well as outside of St. Louis. I e-mailed the County Library to determine if these films are in their collection and they are not. I called the Public library and found that they are not in the collection of their library either. However, Kathy Smith, our list buddy, told me that she thinks the registers are available at City Hall and recommended that I call and ask about it. I called the Archives at City Hall (314-622-4610) and was advised that they are not sure if they have the records. They are going to return my call. These films would especially be of interest to anyone who had a physician in their family, and/or anyone searching for a female during those years. So, for everyone with interests in St. Louis health records - in or out of St. Louis- these films are available through the LDS library and are probably worth checking out. I will post any information I get about the availability of these records through St. Louis City Hall when they return my call. Diane Shaw Hi Diane, I am sorry but we do not have permission from the owning archive to purchase these films.

The Female Hospital registers are there too. I have never seen this collection in the County or City Libraries. Are they available in St. Louis? Diane Shaw Hillsboro, MO
